"Senior Bai, has the matter been resolved?"
The Dark Elf Queen Al no longer held the indifferent attitude towards Bai Yan as she initially did. The power and influence Bai Yan displayed were worthy of respect in her eyes.
"Yes, most of the Outer Realm Life Remnants among your Dark Elf Clan have been cleared. There might be one more left, which I will handle shortly, so you needn't worry."
Bai Yan sat expressionlessly on the main seat, watching the now sowhat humble Dark Elf Queen, contemplating how to bring up the topic of the Elf Clan.
However, before Bai Yan could find an appropriate entry point, the Dark Elf Queen Al broached the subject herself.
"Senior Bai... Al... may... may I discuss sothing with you?"
The Dark Elf Queen Al blinked her eyelashes in hesitation, finally deciding to reveal the aspiration she had buried in her heart for many years.
"Speak. If I can be of assistance, I will consider it."
The Dark Elf Queen Al was quite fearful of Bai Yan's impassive deanor, not knowing whether Bai Yan would choose to help her, abandon her, or even turn against her.
After all, his daughter had received blessings from the Elf Clan, a favor he had to acknowledge.
"Senior Bai, Al wants... to annex the Elf Clan!"
Bai Yan never expected the Dark Elf Queen Al to express her intent so directly. From her previous deanor, Bai Yan thought she would be more reserved.
"That's sothing I cannot help you with. My daughter has been blessed by the Elf Clan, so I cannot take action against them."
Despite saying this, Bai Yan's expression remained unchanged, showing neither anger nor did he leave abruptly.
The Dark Elf Queen Al was perceptive and realized there might be an opportunity within this issue, though Bai Yan could not directly intervene or assist.
Thus, the Dark Elf Queen Al quickly rephrased, "Senior Bai, I rely wish my people to return to that land after so long. After all, we are descendants of the Elf Giant Tree; that place is our roots!"
"Senior Bai, I want to go ho..."
The Dark Elf Queen Al looked on the verge of tears. Despite her dark skin not fitting Bai Yan's aesthetic, Bai Yan had to admit that the Dark Elf Queen Al was truly beautiful.
Her features were near perfect, her skin smooth and tender, and her power imnse. Anyone who caught her eye would be incredibly fortunate.
However, the teary eyes of the Dark Elf Queen Al did not sway Bai Yan directly. What he desired, if the Dark Elf Queen Al could not provide, no matter what she said, Bai Yan would not choose to assist her.
Ultimately, it ca down to the fact that the Dark Elf Queen Al had not offered enough to make Bai Yan willing to forsake his relationship with the Elf Clan in her favor.
The Dark Elf Queen Al, of course, understood Bai Yan's thoughts but was uncertain of Bai Yan's bottom line. If she revealed too much, wouldn't she be at a loss?
Though she did not know, Bai Yan truly had no bottom line, and whatever she proposed, Bai Yan would respond with, "not enough."
"Senior Bai, our Dark Elf Clan has truly been away from ho for too long... we earnestly wish to return..."
"How about this, if Senior Bai can assist us in re-entering the Elf Clan's territory and gaining the approval of the Elf Giant Tree, we are willing to gift the entire Dark Star Domain with over two hundred Resource Stars to Senior Bai!"
The Dark Elf Queen Al thought she had made enough concessions, considering that over two hundred would be a considerable fortune for Bai Yan.
Moreover, the Dark Star Domain was not like the remote and desolate places such as the Snowfield, Bloodthirst, or Fiery Sun Star Domains. Each Resource Star here was affluent and could be utilized imdiately without construction.
However, Bai Yan still maintained an expressionless face, seemingly with a hint of mockery at the corner of his lips.
As if saying, is this all you are offering to settle with ? Impossible!
The Dark Elf Queen Al realized that her offer had not swayed Bai Yan, but the thought lingered in her mind, impossible to dismiss.
It was the dream of their Dark Elf Clan for countless years, the true reason they wished to return to the Endless Star Sea, even after being exiled to the Abyss.
"Se... Senior Bai... if you are still not satisfied..."
It seed like the Dark Elf Queen Al made up her mind, but her words only beca more bashful.
"I can... offer myself to you... as a servant or slave..."
"I only ask you, Senior Bai... to take charge for my Dark Elf Clan..."
The Dark Elf Queen Al made her intentions clear: she was willing to commit the entire Dark Elf Clan, as now that she was the queen, becoming Bai Yan's servant would imply that the entire Dark Elf Clan belonged to Bai Yan.
But Bai Yan was not content; just a re Dark Elf Clan was nowhere near enough to satisfy him.
What he wanted was for all the species in the Endless Star Sea to bow under his feet, to submit beneath the might of the Human Race.
So he spoke, still with an impassive expression, as he looked at the Dark Elf Queen Al and said.
"What do you an? Do you see as soone who takes advantage of others in their vulnerable monts?"
"This matter, even if you do not provide any reward, I am destined to do it."
"I am rely giving you a chance to choose: Either submit now at my feet and beco my subordinate, or wait until my army surrounds the entire Dark Star Domain or even the Elf Clan, and then surrender."
"There is indeed a difference between the two; consider it yourself."
Bai Yan's impassive deanor made the Dark Elf Queen Al increasingly uneasy. She knew Bai Yan was domineering, but she did not expect him to be that overbearing.
Even though the Dark Elf's strength was not weak, he dared to threaten her in such a situation!
Yet for so reason, facing Bai Yan, the Dark Elf Queen Al couldn't muster any anger. No matter how she tried to persuade herself to abandon Bai Yan for another way to defeat the Elf Clan.
Ultimately her gaze fell back on Bai Yan, and incredibly, she began thinking to herself that if she truly submitted to Bai Yan, perhaps her problems would be resolved effortlessly.
After all, besides being the queen of the Dark Elves, she was also a young girl with an infatuated heart.
Moreover, her Abyss Bloodline was causing her affection for Bai Yan to grow day by day. When she heard that Bai Yan had resolved the Outer Realm Life Remnants hidden within the Dark Elf Clan, her body involuntarily shuddered, eliciting a physiological reaction that induced sha!
And as this affection fernted, it finally led the Dark Elf Queen Al to make a decision that she would celebrate for the rest of her life.
